The prospect Of getting the water
shut out at the derrick is growing
less favorable daily. As the drill
goes deeper, heavy veins of water are
encountered, making the pressure at
the bottom Of the hole enormous.
Although the best extra heavy casing
has been inserted, it is impossible to
get a firm footing in the soft rock,
so the water a be kept from fore
ing its way in and filling the hole. To
drill through this water, and make
any progress, is an lmposslbility, and
this is the way matter stands.

THE SAME "REGiSTER."

Its Editor Receives II Lesson in Common

An editorial writer in the ErcHing Reg

and irresponsible pen, wrote that can cpl
demic Of maudlin sympathy" for the
condemned eight-hour advocates had
struck New Haven. ellis editorial nibs'
referred to the meeting at which Henry
G. Baldwin spoke last Monday night.
But there was nothing "maudlin' about
the meeting or the speeches. They were
rather matter of fact, and totally unlike
the maudlin editorials in the Register
anent the achievements of some rich
mems toys called Thistle and "Volun-
teer'
One of the speakers at the meeting had
said 81 am more opposed to that which
is called anarchism, than to capitalism"
and the registers editor remarks: "What
he meant by this incoherent statement
we have not the slightest idea" OF
course, the speaker at the meeting is not
responsible for the EDITORS inability to
uilNtlSltI'l I4liPlSli, vi loI ms uulllieSS
Of intellect. Still, it is the part of a
Good Samaritan to assist the unfort-
innate.
"That which is called anarchism' by
the unwashcd 1--WE believe this is the sci
entitic term for silk-stocking "demo-
crat') is a condition Of lawIess license,
and is but slightly worse in effect than
capitalism tapitalsm is lawful license,
and is but slightly less harmful than an
archism. Anarchism might produce
chaos complete. Capitalism produces
vice, crime, and such samples Of imbe-
cility as wicld the editorial pens on cap
italist papers. See?
We trust that these delicate illusions
will not cause the military instinct to

The W"rkmrn's Advocate Not An tspir-
ant for conservative" Honors.
Somehow or other the capitalist papers
Of the State have come to the infOrma-
ton that the WORKMENS ADVOCATE was
rejected rs the official organ of the State
Federation of Labor. The WoRKMENS
ADVOCATE never asplred to the honor,
nor could it very we'll serve as an official
organ Of an association that adopts such
useless methods as the appointment of
committees TO lobby with "demcratic"
and "republican" legislators in the inter
est of doubtful measures falsely assumed
to be in the interest of Labor. While
the WORKMEN'S ADVOCATE has always
been a staunch upholder of Trades
Unions and, indeed all useful labor or
carnations, it could never agree to par
leying with repre- 'entativeS elected by
the enemies of labor and their ignorant
or bull -do2ed followers.
1t was the Mechanics journal, of South
Norwalk, a private enterprise of J. NJ.
Ellendorf, which was offered 10y its own
er as the official organ of the Federation,
But the Federation had the good sense
TO refuse. Ellendorf claimed in letter
to the Federation to own the only labor
paper in the State, and it was then that
the delegates attention was called to the
WoRkMEN'S ADVOCATE, and all ackaOwl-
edged its superiority. OF course, the
federation could not make it an official
organ without permission, nor did they
wish to do So, as they very well knew
that it was too radical paper TO suit
their conservatism. Nevertheless, the
ADVOCATE will continue its battle for
trades unionism, and endeavor to create
a progressive spirit among trades union
lists. 1t will always be worthy of its
name of WORkMEN's ADVOCATE.

A KILLING CURE.

stood on the corner of Washington ave-
nue. and Nicollet the other day. 'IIe
looks SO much like me that will have to
kill him. There is no other way out of
it,"
"What's the matter?' inquired man
with one eye gone.
"Well, he got me into an awful lot of
trouble, lie gets full and they arrest
me. My wife sees him go into a gam
bling house and she goes for lue for it. "
That is pretty hard
"1ou'd think so if it was you. Things
like that happen every day, That isn't
half of it, The trouble is that he gets
all my money. They come to me with
all his bills and make me pay them.
Even the courts sustain that view of the
case. They held if | looked so much
like a man rs all that ought to pay his
bills. But that isn't the worst"
"No"
II should say not. Why. he comes
up and borrows money from me, and he
resembles me SO closely that think | am
looking into a mirror and hand the
money over. If it keeps on he will be
taking my wife and family from me.
The only thing that | can do is to kill

congratulate them, and trust they will
meet often and enjoy "the fellowship of

The rumor published in the lying
Morning Nc,rS that the Town Committee
of the Labor Party would hold meeting
last Sunday was unfounded. There was
no meeting; but several members OF the
Town Committee decided to issue call.
A man named Curtis who was, meta
phoricalIy, "kicked' out Of Socialist
meeting a year or two ago, seems to be
hanging round again. lie will prOba-
bly, experience another boost when

The attempt will be made, it is said, to
sde-,rack the Labor Party of this city
upon the land-tax switch. The job u i'll
have to be done in sections, as the switch
engine isn't powerful enough to pull the
whole train. Besides, the broad -guage
trucks won't tit the narrow gauge side
track.
Owing to the small number in attend
ance, the meeting of the Ninth Ward
Labor Party last Sunday resolved to call
another meeting, and appointed com
mittee of one to act with the chairman
and secretary to find suitable hall, de-
eide upon date, and send out call TO
the members by postal card. Also to
place a notice in the WOKKMEN'S ADNO-
CATE.
A delegate to the convention of the

came before the convention. 1t seems

had special orders to arrest the railroad

Meriden This week.
The Connecticut branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor held its second
annual convention in Meridcn last Mon
day and Tuesday, The delegates from
New Haven were; Charles Stodel, repre-
senting the Trades Council; Thomas J.
Flood, Cigarmakers' Union No. 30; otto
Schiebel, Brewers Union; j. Burke,
Typographical Union, and Henry
Flentje, BARRIERS Union.
Four organizations in the State were
represented ut the convention by employ
crs. This seems odd to the ordinary
labor man.
The following are the officers elected
for the ensuing year: President, +, 5.
Farrell, printer, Hartford; Secretary, }.
s. Bacon. printer, llartiOrd; First Vice
President, John Garvey, iron.mOulder,
New Britain; Second NiCc-prcsdent,

Executive Council, S, Reynolds, cigar
maker, Bridgeport; c. NJ, Raymond, EN-
plOylng hat tip printer, l'anbnry; John
Kenny, iron-moulder, South Norwalk,
The proceedings were marked by an
amiabe conservatism not calculated to
arouse a consciousness of antagOnlstic
class interests between the eXplolters
and the exploited. The next convention
will be held in New llaven, beginning
the second Monday in October, 1883.

DENOUNCING ANARCHISTS.
Henry Z. Baldwin Speaks at the Lincoln
Kink-Thc Resolutions.

Henry 4. Baldwin Speaks ut the Lincoln
Rink-Thc Resolutions.
The meeting at the Lincoln Rink last
Monday eveneng, under the auspices of
the Trades Council, was one of the most
interesting held in the city for some
time. Notwithstanding the threatening
weather and rather inadequate adverts-
ing, an audience of about four hundred
attended, and listened with evident sat
isfaction to the sentiments expressed
A delegate from the Typographical
Union opened the meeting, and after u
few Introductory remarks presented the
speaker of the evening, Henry C.. Bald
win, of Naugatuck who was warmly
received.
Mr., Baldwin said he was not there to
plead for the seven men who were I'M
Justly condemned to death, but to de
nounce the conspiracy OF capitalists
against the constitutional rights of the
people to free speech, free assembly and
free press. The speaker then went on to
expose the villainous proceedings of the
Chicago police and judiciary in their
efforts to destroy the labor movement.
The strike and police murderers at Nc
Cormicks; the HaymaIket meeting the
attack 10y the police, the throwing of the
bomb, the arrest of the prisoners, the
impaneling of the jury of confessedly
prejudiced persons the partisan rulings
of Judge Gary, were all portrayed in "a
mastery manner. Frequent applause
marked the presentation of salient points
and indicated that the audience was en-
rapport with the speaker. After he had
finished, the chairman read the follow
ing resolutions which were adopted by a
unanimous aye"
ResoIred, That we denounce the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of Illinois.
which condemns seven innocent men to
death.
Resoited, That we denounce the public
press which has suppressed the truth in
regard to this case.
Resolved. That we are in favor of free
speech, free assembly and a free press,
and believe with Judge Cooley that these
rights should he defended and preserved
by the exercise of force, if necessary.
A collection was taken up with the
view of paying the expense of hiring the
rink, printing, and also to send some
help to the prisoners, but the collection
unfortunately fell far short of paying the
rent of the rink.
Notwithstanding the many demands
made upon the organized workmen of
New Haven, it would be an additional
honor to them to raise some money for
the condemned men who risked their
lives in contending for the demands Of
the organized workmen of Chicago, and
through them, of the country,
